is it possible a Official Competition for Braille people?

I have meet the blind cuber at Jogjakarta,he can solve 3x3 and 2x2.I think,blind cubers are allowed to participate the official Competition if the time limit of the competition are at 15 minutes with the format best of 2.Because,if the format is average of 5,it can be a half day for the 3x3 competition
that's my opinionfor respecting the blind cuber.

Unfortunately, your opinion isn't what the WCA-rules say, so you're not allowed to discriminate the blind, no matter how much you want to.

He's not discriminating against the blind, he's just saying that you may want to make sure you have limits for the event. If a sighted person can solve in 15 minutes, they're going to get DNF's at 10 minutes, and if I knew I'd have a bunch of people that took 15 minutes to solve, I'd make sure I'd setup to be a combined round so that they would be able to compete a little bit, but not use up the whole competition.

He doesn't? 'Cause in my head it sounds that in his opinion, blind people shouldn't be allowed to attend a 3x3 round that does an average of 5. Wouldn't that be discriminating?

Of course you should be allowed to have a combined round, but that should be based on time, not whether you're seeing or not. (Which I'm pretty sure you actually think, but that's not how Billbowser said.)

I can see his point now. It's only about as discriminatory as setting a cut-off that competitors must beat within their first 2 solves or they cannot finish the average. It's very necessary at some competitions.

I agree with the bolded part of your statement. If they can solve the cube quickly then it would be silly to deny them an average of 5. However I also think that any cutoff should be raised with regards to a blind competitor if at all possible.

I hope the WCA Board won't make it a hard time for these 'special' cubers ( visual impaired and blind cubers).

Use your heart.

Does that meaan i can go

Does that meaan i can go (i'm visually impaired)

you can see well enough right? you do cube, went to three official comps, but maybe you could try own the VI comps,

Of course i can see wll enough but i could easily get the VI WR

There is no point in keeping track of a "visually impaired" WR unless you only allow people who are pretty much completely blind. As a demonstration, here's a non-rolling avg5 with glasses off:
14.73, 14.77, (13.82), (14.89), 14.41 => 14.64
Keep in mind, without glasses I'm incredibly nearsighted, to the point where I had to put my glasses on between solves so I could see what time I got (never mind seeing the scramble!). Point is, a little vision is enough.

I welcome blind or nearly blind people to compete in competitions, but as I've said before, I don't think they should be given special treatment beyond allowing them to use textured puzzles. I don't think speedcubing rankings should be segregated in any way, whether it be by gender, age, disability, or anything else (except country, since I know some people care a lot about that).
